My 15 minutes of Fame in Biomedical Engineering Class

It is often difficult to convince faculty that it is important that students receive training in the use of the library's databases. The biomedical engineering department has been a challenge for me. Today I was just given 15 minutes to talk to the Fundamentals of Engineering Design class. I just briefly mentioned how basic information on a subject (I chose tissue engineering) for this class can be found in books while more current information must be found in research journals that can be searched through databases such as Scopus, Medline, and the IEEE Electronic Library. I guess a 15 minute mini-lecture to students is better than none at all.
